Its been a busy few days getting ready for Christmas. Been making some holiday tags which I plan on adding to the gifts under the tree. This gal is from Tim Holtz's Christmas Carol die. The added chipboard "Christmas Cheer" was sent to me from Bibiana.

Added a bit of tinsel and the washi tape used is from a Christmas card envelope I received from my friend Rosemary :)

Hi, thanks for peeking in tonight. I've been busy craftin up some festive jars. I found some great tips and craftin ideas from a lady on youtube (Roxyfur) found here.

The jars are from dollarama and they have been painted with chalkboard paint. 2 coats in either direction letting the layers dry in between. Once the layers are dry I seasoned the chalkboard surface by rubbing a layer of chalk on it.

Since the caps are clear on the jars I decided to add Kraftin Kimmie stamped images for some added fun. Plus also some red glitter tape from my friend Linda :)

added some Candy Cane cups to the jars (they are super yummy) !!

Copic coloured the images and added them to the caps along with some trimmings and bells.

Happy Sunday, hope you are doing well today :) Had some time last night to play in the craft room. My Cricut imagine (which is a machine that prints and cuts) needed calibration which I completed and printed this two layer Santa image. So I decided to make this little tag since I had already printed this Santa test image! :)

One crazy stamper is having an anything goes challenge over on their blog so I will be entering this little tag in their challenge this month found here

Thanks for stopping by tonight. I participated in Kraftin Kimmie's Christmas card exchange over on Facebook. This is the card I sent along with some Christmas Twine and Christmas Ribbon. I hope the gal that receives this card likes it!! :)

Kraftin Kimmie is currently having a guest design contest and she is accepting entries until the end of the week. Totally love her stamps and design team so I will be adding my card into the challenge :)

In other news I have been tinkering around on Twitter trying to figure out how it works. Please let me know if you use Twitter and I will follow you. My twitter handle is @luv2scrapnat :)

Bibiana has one last Throw back Thursday until the new year and I wanted to share an ATC ornament

made a few years back.

This was part of a trade I made over at Swap-Bot. Wish I had made an extra one for myself but never had the time to complete that. So I thought I would make another today and show you how I did it with a little tutorial.

The supplies ...

Used a Hero Arts music background stamped with distress ink along with a cut out Angel ...

Back of the ornament stamped with a ATC ART stamp ....

added tinsel ribbon around the ATC with hot glue...

Cut the picket fence with wire cutters. The fence is from Dollarama our local dollar store. I found it in the Christmas display/village section of the store

Added a bell and hot glued the base of the atc to white cardstock then cut around the fence...

some music ...

Added Christmas carol text paper which has been distressed with Vintage Photo....
